The Rays wives played their annual charity softball game with the Marlins wives Saturday afternoon, with Tampa Bay whipping Miami 14-2 and racking up 22 hits. LHP J.P. Howell's wife, Heather, was the manager. "She was going to break out the bifocals and do some shifts," Howell joked, "but it didn't come through in the last minute."

Not-so-gold glove

The Rays tied a major-league record Friday with their fifth catcher's interference call; they had 10 in their first 14 years. Manager Joe Maddon knows his team is bound to break the record. Maddon joked when asked what they'd do with the glove that made history. "It's going to be bronzed — it won't be gold, it'll be bronzed," Maddon said. "Maybe zinc, a less vital metal or something."

RHP Jeremy Hellickson's seven walks Friday were the most by a Rays pitcher in more than six years. Seth McClung walked seven Yankees on April 26, 2006, also a Rays win.
